Methods for automatic structure determination [Pavelčík (1988). Acta Cryst. A44, 724–729] have been extended by routines utilizing Patterson peaks and a new version of the XFPS computer program [Pavelčík, Rizzoli & Andreetti (1990). University of Parma, Italy, and Komensky Univ., Bratislava, Czechoslovakia] has been developed. The results of test calculations were compared with those of SHELXS86 [Sheldrick (1986). University of Gōttingen, Germany]. About 80% of heavy-atom structures can be solved automatically.
